Over the past two weeks my church has made an issue of "gay marriage" in the "pulpit" and I suppose she is trying to tap into that.

As a feminist, I thought Sarah Palin might become a role model for other women to get involved with politics. However, after watching numerous Sarah Palin videos, I'm enranged with her policies. Palin is against women's rights, and she does not have anything to offer for the United States. Please check out this site:

http://dailysource.org/palinvideos

This site has videos of her talking about foreign policy and also lots of other topics including the economy, energy, the environment, and the media. It's got every interview andd nationally televised speech since she was picked, as well as every SNL skit and Daily Show report about her.

Yes, I too bemoan the lack of education and critical thinking in the US, as evidenced by most posters here. Anyone who thinks about this realizes that MARRIAGE has to be handled FEDERALLY, because people move from state to state. Or, do you propose that a state that overwhelmingly opposes gay marriage will have to recognize a marriage when a couple moves there from Massachusetts?

A Federal law is REQUIRED when state-to-state reciprocity is required. Or, perhaps this is the intent of the leftists: Get at handful of states to enact Gay Marriage, then force it on the rest of the states through existing reciprocity law.

The Republicans always need a boogie man to scare their lemmings. Gay marriage is it. Hilarious! And it's hardly a religious issue because cheery-picking Bible verses (without even knowing the Aramaic or Hebrew translations) is only for the most ignorant. If you want to follow the Bible, follow the Bible: marriage is about women being property. Read the book. Otherwise, it's all about fear (a tactic that works only on the ignorant and the frightened Republican evangelicals who seem to know nothing about Jesus Christ, who he was and what he did here in Earth.) Maybe they should start doing something about feeding the poor, taking care of injustice, and equality...but that would mean they'd actually have to do something other than complain and hate.

Palin's comments make perfect sense to me. I don't expect every politician to agree with every other politician on every issue, and McCain DOES have the problem of being a bit wishy-washy about issues regarding life and marriage. So does the rest of the Republican Party.

I'm glad to see a prominent politician defend a Culture of Life for change!

What this says is that Sarah Palin has something that is lacking in the rest of the politicans, backbone.

This isn't a bad thing.

The absoulute LAST thing the McCain/Palin camp needs is

MORE CONFUSION.

We went from

strong economy fundamentals

to socialism

in three weeks.

in between was

crisis
firing folks
the fannie freddie scandal
acorns
ayers
joe the plummer

Howard Gallas...something is really "off" if you encourage readers to go to factcheck.org to confirm your claims, and when doing so, find that your claims are erroneous. Perhaps your racist mindset is beginning to interfere with the synapses in your brain. Good luck to you pal. Maybe someday you will learn that what you are trying to hold onto isn't really worth it...

So, if the issue were slavery, she would be just fine with letting the sourthern states decide for themselves.

Isn't that precious.

the main thing that this shows is that she has no overall philosophy or legal understanding of government. She contradicted her "federalist" statement because she really doesn't know what it means. Her behavior in Troopergate and statements about legal issues shows that she deals with issues on a personal, emotional and visceral level, not on a thoughtful or analytical one. Bottom line, she doesn't know the law, doesn't know government, doesn't know the world, and doesn't seem to care about her ignorance. That McCain would put her a heartbeat away from the presidency is the final indictment of his fitness to be president himself.

Yes we did, Omentum.

All the while the democrats have had complete control of congress.

How much money did Obama get from Fannie and Freddie again?

In the last two years, what did the price of gas do? How about the economy?

Bush doesn't make the laws nor did he cause any of this. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid did this all by themselves.

What is the approval rating of the democrat controlled congress? Lower than Bush's, that's what I thought.

You have to wonder if she even understands that she contradicted herself.

b - Obviously you are way out of your depth here. Simple-minded people = simple-minded ideas.

Why do all these 'Reagan federalists' who believe so strongly in a state's ability to make its own decisions also refuse to acknowledge any state that votes for medical marijuana rights?

Palin walked away from McCain a long time ago.

Palin strikes me as just another Republican who wants states to make their own choices, independent of the federal government, and in accordance with her views.

why not legal partnership instead of marriage?

Biden differs with Obama on the fact that Obama is not qualified or experienced to be president.

Once again Palin has proven herself to go against the "standard". I applaud her for that!!!

You have got to stop reading Liberal propaganda web sites. Todd Palin belong BRIEFLY TO THE GROUP YOU MENTIONED AS MANY INDIGENOUS TRIBE PEOPLE FROM ALASKA DO. Its sort of like the American Plain Indians having their own reservations. It represented tribal pride. He was a member for a little over a year until he decided the group was too politically extreme and he quit. His wife, Gov. Palin NEVER BELONG TO THE GROUP, and if she attended a meeting to see what is was about isn't that what you should do?

** It was a separatist group and he was in it longer than a year. So maybe you should start checking your facts. Furthermore, I wish they would (sarah and todd) move to Russia because no one but these starved Republicans like her. No person with a brain likes her. She doesn't know anything and if anything the liberal media has given her a pass. What about her abuse of power? her pregnant daughter? There are A LOT OF THINGS THAT CONCERN PEOPLE ABOUT SARAH PALIN AND HER OWN PARTY IS CALLING HER OUT SO WHY SHOULDN'T THE DEMOCRATS? ACTUALLY REPUBLICANS HAVE RIPPED HER WORST THAN OBAMA AND BIDEN BECAUSE THEY ARE SPEAKING FOR ALL THE PEOPLE NOT 5% OF THE PEOPLE
